In The Zone

In addition to Give and Go for the Super NES, Konami is also working on a PlayStation basketball title. All we were able to see was a tape of some of the action, and as revolutionary as the Super NES version was, the PlayStation game was that much better. Everything is drawn with 3-D polygons and the players' movements seemed to be some of the smoothest we've seen to date. But looks can be deceiving, and since we have yet to be able to play any of the various companies' polygon sports games, the verdict is still out as to whether polygons are the wave of the future.

Anyway, all 29 NBA teams will be in this game. Konami did get the NBA license for all of the teams and all of the players, so they seem to mean business. They also promise to have "dramatic" camera angles and "incredible" zooming effects that will let you see the gameplay from all around the court.
